Birthday Wish List...

For everyone asking...here is what I want for my birthday. :)

I think it's time for a new hair cut, I want something different but I don't want it short. I love this model's hair...what do you think? Should I go for it?

I've been wanting one for awhile now...no making fun Megan!

I want knit boots. I'm not that picky on which ones...although I love the uggs. Ha. I would love the most expensive ones. However, I like the heather colored ones here.

Toms will always be on my list...I heart the wedges.

Now on to more practical things...

I need need need storage boxes...all sizes

I find it odd I don't have one of these but my cakes would turn out better if I did.

I need another...mine is, well...gross now. I use it to much!

Falling in LOVE

Nothing makes me fall in love more than looking at wedding pictures. Here's a picture that makes me fall in love. However, I'm already filled with love. Tonight, Jarrod took me on a wonderful date for my birthday (I know my birthday isn't for a couple weeks but it's the only night we have free until then). We ate fondue, drank coffee and then went shopping. I bought a sexy dress for my Mad Men shower and a new pair of jeans...and they are a size 3. Ha...I realize that's pretty personal and I usual keep those things to myself but since I already let you in when I posted it here, I thought why not. Enjoy, the picture...it's beautiful.

Going Global

Ok, I'm a math nerd. . . I'll admit it. What do you expect from an engineer, but I really do enjoy numbers and statistics. Which is why when Becca showed me that we can actually view the stats from our blog I absolutely loved it. It's kind of neat how much different information that's being kept track of. One of the best ones I think is where page views are coming from by country. As you can clearly see below you are actually reading an internationally followed blog. I'm not really sure who these people are or why in the world they would stumble across our blog but I think it's really neat. Becca and I love to travel and the idea that we have a pseudo connection to other countries through our blog is funny. What's especially ironic is that number four on the list, Malta, is actually where we spent our honeymoon and for such a small country it's really representing itself. But I have to give credit where credit is due and thank Russia for being the top international viewer. Regardless, if there really is anyone out there from another country who actively reads our blog or even if you're just stopping through, we'd love to hear from you in the comments. It's just a great reminder of how small our world really is.

Home of Our New Home

We've started a new blog! Don't worry this blog is going to stay right where it is and we'll keep posting regularly on our oh-so-exciting lives :) However, about a year ago Becca and I purchased a lot in Nixa to build our next home on and we thought there wasn't a better way to track our trials and tribulations as first time home builders than to start a blog dedicated to the whole process. So check it out at http://welcome2wicklow.blogspot.com/. We'll be writing about everything from fixing up and selling our current home to the planning and construction of the new one and all the details that go along with it. Thanks and let us know what you think.

More planning...

I'm trying to find a dress for the shower I'm planning in November. I've been waiting to go to the new vintage shop in town called Red Velvet . Today, on her blog I saw this display...I can't wait to go. Maybe I can find both Jarrod and I's outfits for the shower. In this post, she says, "

The new shop has dress racks inspired by "Betty, Joan and Peggy" (of MadMen)." I'd like to find a "Joan" dress. She's the sassy redhead on the show.

Long Locks

I was looking through old photos and found of few of my handsome husband with his "long locks" and it made me smile. He was a senior in college and wanted to grow out his hair before he got a "big boy" job. His hair is actually really pretty. It's thick, and has natural highlights. He wants to grow it out again since his "big boy" job doesn't care. I'm not so sure. I can't have my husband having prettier hair than me.

Shower planning

I'm planning a shower for Josh and Melissa and I'm really into it. The theme is from the TV series Mad Men. Jarrod and I started watching it just so I can get ideas. I'm pretty pumped about the party. I promise to share pictures.
Above are the invites...what do you think?
